Wide field images with a DSLR and an AZ GOTO mount

A Pentax Kx DSLR fitted with a 70-300mm lens, or an 18-50mm lens, step down rings and a 2" Light Pollution Filter was mounted on an iOptron Cube Pro AZ GOTO mount and multiple images of starfields were captured in RAW format. The images were de-rotated and stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and post processed in Photoshop.
